Frida

Miramax

"Frida" (2002) The character: A cameo as Nelson Rockefeller, deep-pocketed American patron of the titular Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (Salma Hayek). Stickler for details: Although screenwriters Gregory Nava, Diane Lake and Clancy Sigal received credit for the script, producer-star Hayek hired Norton -- her boyfriend at the time -- to extensively research surrealist artist Kahlo and pull together a version of the script that reached the screen. Back story: Explaining his "Frida" credit omission at a press junket for "Red Dragon" in 2002, Norton insisted: "I got shafted by the Writers Guild at the last minute, but I wrote the draft that got made."
